[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 647556, member: 3903"] You might not be doing anything wrong as per say, but you have to remember that this particular lens is very prone to flare, specially when used with backlight. I have one and find it almost unusable with very light scenes or backlit subjects WHEN USED WIDE OPEN. As soon as I close to around 5.6, it becomes one of my sharpest lens. But I had to remove and clean the front element that seemed at the time a bit foggy and it helped a lot for sharpness. If you can use a spanner to unscrew the front element and clean it, you should improve it quite a bit. I love the macro function of this lens. [/QUOTE]
